Actually Don, you and Antares are both confused as to what he should 
be apologizing for. It was not, as you say, for taking the position 
that ETDs perform every bit as well as experienced aural tuners, and 
offer other advantages besides.

Antares was apologizing for his reply to Tony Caught's post in the 
thread "Re: machines or not? what?", specifically for to mention the 
name of his ETD. Those reading Antares' reply did see the ETD's name 
spelled out, in Tony's quote of Antares' previous post in the thread.

Antares didn't need to apologize for failing to mention the brand 
name of an ETD he was an agent for, that would just be a simple 
missed-occasion-to-market. However, I agree with Patrick Draine and 
Keith McGavern. If I'm going to listen to someone rhapsodize about a 
particular ETD AND if he happens to be an agent for it (no matter how 
distant the market), I'd still like to be able to leaven those 
opinions with this knowledge.
